Kevin was adopted by the most feared mafia leader. When he came of age he took over from his adoptive father. He kept his promise he made her when they parted. He searched for her as he promised, but what happens when he found her and finds out she is their clans sworn enemy and not the same girl he used to know what will he do?

Two Worlds Apart - Mafia World Chapter 1 Their eyes met

As their eyes met, her eyes widen in disbelief. She was afraid to blink. Even to look away for a mere second. Taking two steps back, she grabbed Wes's arm to stabilize her.

"Are you okay?" Wes asked as he frowned down at her hand on his arm.

"A- Y- Yeah," Alice said.

She glimpsed at Wes for only a second. Forgetting a moment back she did not even want to blink. That mere second, she regretted once she looked back. She blinked a few times hoping, praying that he would reappear again. Could it be her mind playing a joke on her? Fifteen years have passed, and every day she wished, prayed to get only a glance of him.

Her eyes searched through the room.

"Where - Where did he go?" She murmured

"Who? What is wrong with you tonight, Alice? You are not acting like yourself." Wes followed her gaze,

"I thought I saw..." Alice glanced at Wes, but when she saw his disinterested glare, it awoke her to reality.

"Forget it."

The little bit of hope her heart longed for, was instantly washed away by the bitterness she kept in her heart. How can something like that even be a possibility when he was dead?

"Whatever. I am going to get something to drink. You want something?" Wes asked,

"No, I am good,"

Wes frowned at her distant behavior. He shook his head and walked away

"You look like someone I knew when I was younger. Only she had light brown hair.

Alice's eyes widen as she heard a voice behind her. As she turned around, she took a step back,

"You - You." Alice stuttered

"You seem like you have seen a ghost." He said with a chuckle.

She opened her mouth to respond but heard someone calling her in a hurry.

"Alice!"

She automatically turned toward the voice and watched Khan rush toward her

"Ahem. Yes, Khan?" She asked as she lifted an eyebrow

Khan glared at the guy behind her. His eyes moved to Alice.

"Your father is looking for you."

"Now?"

"Yes, now. You know he does not like to wait."

"I ... You go ahead. I will be right there."

"NO! I told him I will accompany you there."

Left with no choice. Alice turned around. Even when given a second chance, she wasted it. He was gone. Her heart sank as she had to watch his back while he walked away. Even if he was not Kevin. She only wanted to have a few minutes with him. Her heart was screaming at her to follow him.

Jackson Brown's words ran through her mind, "Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eyes."

"NOW. ALICE"

Khan's harsh tone shook Alice out of her thoughts.

Khan followed her gaze.

"Why are you so interested in that guy, Alice?".

She looked at Khan contemplating if she should tell him. She pondered for a second.

"He looks like Kevin, Khan. Could it be him? I need to follow him."

"Alice!"

"Don't you trust me?"

"What do you mean Khan? Of course, I trust you."

"How can you say you trust me when you think that man is Kevin, Alice? Haven't I given you enough evidence to prove his death? How can you get distracted by a guy that looks like your childhood love?"

Alice stared into the distance.

"You are right. I lost focus for a few seconds. It will not happen again."

"Are you sure Alice? Your whole reason for living is to revenge Kevin, or have you forgotten?"

"How can I forget? You're right as always. Let's go." Alice said in a cold tone

"Don't let me remind you again."

"I said I got it, Khan!"

"Good. Now follow me."

As Alice followed Khan into another room. She could not get the image of that guy out of her head. He resembled Kevin too much. As they neared her adoptive father, Adriano Bernardi, leader of the Berandi Mafia clan. She watched him standing with his back towards them. Engaged in a deep conversation with other leaders and shareholders.

"Sir," Khan greeted as they stopped behind Adriano.

Adriano turned around. He glanced at Khan and moved his eyes to Alice.

"Alice, where have you been?"

With a frown, he looked both sides and behind her. "Where is Wes?" He asked

"Good day father. He went to get us something to drink. We only arrived a while back and got held up by a few guests."

Adriano scowled at Alice. He turned sideways revealing her to the men.

"Gentlemen this is my daughter Alice. She will go to the meeting on my behalf in London."

"Welcome to my party, Alice. It is a pleasure to finally meet the famous Alice. We have heard a lot about you. Seems you are not someone to trifle with. The apple does not fall far from the tree. I am glad to see Adriano is finally showing you to the rest of the world," One man said.

"We look forward to working with you," another gentleman said.

Alice took a glass of champagne from a server that walked passed

"Thank you, gentlemen. I will see you all in London. I hope you all will treat me as one of you."

All the men lifted their glasses and took a sip.

"Don't get ahead of yourself Alice," Adriano said as he frowned at Alice over the rim of his glass.

"Aren't you planning to hand over the family business to her?" One of the men asked out of curiosity

"It depends if she can pass all the tests. One does not count their chickens before they hatched."

Testing someone can be done in a thousand ways, but Alice knew her father and his method of "testing." Hard days were awaiting Alice in the future...

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I've returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders-the man I was told was a crippled recluse-intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I'd cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent-the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower's security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy-Archibald's secret son-wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald's face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

Landslide

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.

Betrayed Bride: Claimed By The Brother

Betrayed Bride: Claimed By The Brother

Reilly Mcardle

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
